Information about the grant for 2011-12 will be included in the annual Cabinet Office report and accounts which will be published at the end of the financial year.

Chevening House is owned and administered by a private trust. Some residual costs are met by the public purse. For the financial year 2010-11 these total £3,695, excluding security costs.
